I got to be apart of modeling a few of these amazing dresses for Provo Fashion Week. When I got the email I was soo worried and almost said no. I mean 1. I'm not model and do a lot better behind the camera or in front of it with the remote in my hand 2. The girls who usually get picked for these things are all amazing at this stuff 3. I didn't want to waste the photographers time or designers time with trying to get a few shots that looks good. But I explained my concerns to the person that emailed me and she said this is a perfect shoot for me to be on, so I did it. I'm so glad I did do it, I've never had professional pictures of me taken and it was a lot of fun. So enjoy them and if you are a local Utahn, you should go to Provo Fashion Week in the Spring.

Did you have an amazing Christmas? I hope your tree and christmas mess is still up! Ours usually stays up until the 2nd week of Jan. I just love the tree. Today I have a post about one of our state parks, Antelope Island.

I think living in Utah people forget how gorgeous the Great Salt Lake is. Yes it stinks and bad but the scenery you get to see is unlike any other in the area.

These pictures were taken a couple months back when my adventure partner and niece decided to go ride our bikes around Antelope Island. It was cold! We were bundled up like crazy, I wore thermals, jeans, knee high boots, beanie, North Face puffy coat, thick scarf and gloves and was still freezing! But it was so much fun.

There is so much to do out at Antelope Island. You can camp, swim, road bike & mtn bike, and see the buffalo. They are huge, and kind of scary when you are riding your bike past them. This place defiantly makes for a fun family day trip, take a picnic and let the kids explore and experience the Great Salt Lake.

If you don't know how to get to Antelope Island it's super easy.
Take i-15 toward Layton and get off exit 332 Antelope Drive. You will from there head west until you get to the gate. Since Antelope Island is a Utah State Park you will have to pay a $10 entrance fee. From there continue on the causeway and bam you're there.

Ok so camping is one of my favorite summer time activities and during my many years of camping I've found a few things you might need. Cooking while on a camping trip is one of my fav adventures during my trip. There are so many ways to cook, you could cook over the fire, bring a stove, cook in a dutch oven, or eat the food packs that you only need to add water. Whatever way you decide to cook that meal you'll need a few essentials.

That my friends is today 10th giveaway. You have the opportunity to win a stainless mess kit, a gourmet kitchen set, and a massive spark!

I'd love to hear of your fav recipes you use when you go camping, I'm always looking for new ones!

You all know my love for traveling, but what you didn't know about me is how many books, websites, and research I am constantly doing about the next place I want to go. I constantly am reading forums, looking at travel hacks, writing itineraries in my travel journal you betcha I have a travel journal, and reading tweets waiting for those amazing travel deals. Heck (yes, I'm from Utah) every single person I follow on twitter is travel related, not one fashion soul under my ' Following' section.
